CAROLINA WORKSHOPS
Computational Molecular Biology
October 22 -- October 27, 1995
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
This course is designed for scientists with limited prior experience in
computational molecular biology. The topics to be covered include:
biomolecular informatics and computer networks, protein and nucleic acid
databases, protein and nucleic acid sequence analysis and alignment, 3D
protein structure analysis and prediction, molecular modeling and dynamic
simulations of proteins and nucleic acids, and structure-based drug design.
The workshop will consist of the in-depth theoretical lectures and intensive
hands-on laboratory sessions. The course will be taught at the training
facility of the North Carolina Supercomputing Center, Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina.
CAROLINA WORKSHOPS are intensive hands-on courses designed to teach
cutting edge methods in molecular biology and biotechnology. Four or five
courses on different topics in molecular biology and/or biotechnology are
offered each year. The courses are designed for novice students as well as
for individuals with prior experience. All students benefit from in-depth
interaction with instructors.
To apply, send a curriculum vitae and a brief letter describing your
